Queen Elizabeth I, who was one of the most powerful women in world history, will be the focus of a program at the Seymour Historical Society on Sunday, March 25, at 2 p.m.
The daughter of the notorious King Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth ruled from 1558 to 1603. During that time, she turned a struggling England into a world power known for its military might, religious tolerance and a flourishing culture led by playwright William Shakespeare.
In this special program, Carolyn Ivanoff, a housemaster at Shelton High School, will offer a costumed portrayal of the last of the Tudor monarchs and detail the life and times of a charismatic leader whose epic reign is still known as the Elizabethan Era.
The Seymour Historical Society is located at 59 West Street, near the Trinity Episcopal Church. The program is free to Seymour Historical Society members and $5 for non-members. Seating is limited to 65 people, so arrive early to claim a seat. Doors open at 1 p.m.
